I’m just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got it’s 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and it’s not just lead! it’s coliform bacteria! it’s THMs! it’s all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and it’s only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem

I would like to add that the people of Flint cannot sell their houses, because selling a house with leaded water is illegal. Additionally, households with children can’t stop paying for the water because living in a house without running water is cause for CPS to take their kids. Flint has been living this way for over two years. 

The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem. 

Because the government has abandoned them, they are dependant on help from the outside. Donate here

Little Miss Flint Clean Water Fund, organized by LuLu Brezzell

My name is Mari Copeny, I’m a 12 year old from Flint, Michigan. You may know me as Li… LuLu Brezzell needs your support for Little Miss Flin

Mari Copeny has taken the initiative to create a water filter. I’ve linked her GoFundMe that’s she using to raise money for it. She’s been able to raise $50k in donations but her next goal is $1 million

Water is a basic human right, it says a lot about governments that fail to provide that. Especially for a so called ‘first world country’

once i was at the philly museum of art and a security guard saw me looking at this sculpture that is just a head of romaine lettuce tied to a block of granite with a piece of wire (sculpture that eats by giovanni anselmo) and he was like. i’m here sometimes when the lettuce guy comes in to change the lettuce.

[spookyskeltals]

This sucks

[rottingfacade]

I love this actually

[thyrell]

what would they do if you started eating it. like yeah that security guard would escort you out but do you think theyd call in the lettuce guy for an emergency replacement or would they just leave it there half eaten until he came in for the regularly scheduled lettuce switch

[alqanas]

what makes them think they have the right

[arcolan]

they also voted that associations organizing "non-mixed" meetings (aka poc meetings) could be dismantled <3

This is weird. So weird. They're not thinking they're being fascists, they think people WHO ARE supporting hijabi women or organizing "non-mixed" meetings are the fascists here. Not even damn communists or "islamolefists" (as the right says here now), literally just fascists. Oppressed minorities are fascists now

[spaceeurydice]

Next month headline : Muslim mothers are egoistic and communautarist because they don’t participate in school life.

Also, please not that it’s not only the hijab that is forbidden, but any form of veiling. They’re forbiding muslim women to cover their head.

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.

Police defund communities in part through the protection they require by the state. From settlements and lawsuits to infrastructure and walls, police take society’s resources to terrorize communities of color and protect private property.

[audio-asexual]

If they are setting this up, it’s with the anticipation that the murderer will walk away or serve bare minimum time

If that doesn’t tell you the criminal justice system we have, then idk what else will

[radicalurbanista]

in addition to this fencing and barbed wire traps, the city is planning to spend over $1.1 million on "communication" to spread the city's spin on the trial (apparently they cancelled the influencer part after backlash, but $1,169,500 was meant for other forms)

So this is the level of YA distopia novel we're in.

Corporations make more profits from suffering. The scarcity is a profit center. #ForcedPowerOutage

When Corporations can make more profit by increasing scarcity, they will.

Utilities should be public. Texas is a great example of the predictable deadliness of corporate greed.
